Hunt, of the Bethel charge, is spending Ins vacation at Trinity Col lege. where he is taking a short course of study. " Alembers of the community clubs at Howell. Bethel, Rocky River and Flowe. have launched a campaign for better schools. J They, say “inasmuch as the state makes no provision for the pupils above the seventh grade, that the patrons must provide for the higher grades.” When we look about us and see so many boys and girls who have completed the 7th grade, many of whom are in their early teens, whose parents are too poor to send them away to school, we say “Amen" to the movement. Why not have one high school in each township where needed to take care of these boys and girls. The best plan that we know would be to have a country levy of taxes for schools. For if such were the case it would make taxation less burdensome to those who live in special tax districts and would establish schools where they are most needed. Childlren’s Day exercises will be held at Bethel the fourth Sunday of this month. In addition to the program that will be rendered by the pupils of the Sunday school there will be two addresses by emiuent''speakers. The committee on arrangements is Airs. Bain Green, Misses Alamie McEachern, Ethel Eudy, Sadie and Irene Black. Everybody is cordially invited. H. The Old Time Scythe Artist. From The Uplift. / f The thought is distressing. AVlmt in the world will be do when the old-timey artist that wields most gracefully and successfully the old English scythe passes away? I call him an artist, ad visedly, for the effect of his ability and touch leave a joy behind them, a picture that, gladdens the heart. Old ex-slave Giles Aliller, a worthy relic of the slave days, of which he graciously and loving ly speaks when he gained his training on the banks of Dutch Buffalo Greek on the old Dan Miller place in No. 8. Why, Giles can swing his scythe, now not wid er than a table knife, and leave a smooth effect just like Bub Henry or Ed Alel ehor, fonsorial artists, leave the faces of some hard customers. This thing of us ing effectively the old time scythe 1 looks mighty easy, but as smart men as W. AV. Flowe, Charlie Ritchie, Luther Bost, Frank Niblock, Luther Hartsell, Dr. Ratn kin, Tiny Hartsell, Zeb Alorris, Jake Aloose, J. L. Crowell, Jim Dayvault, I). B. Coltrane, A. B. Pounds, T. H. AVebb. Alayor AVomble and others who have made their mark in the business world — all country aud farm bred aud reared— couldn’t get a third grade certificate from the Cabarrus county educational depart ment on the subject of using an old-time grass scythe. These rfien just like the balance of us, would throw the instru- j ment as if it were an axe aimed at a * tough tree. The prospect for the future is indeed gloomy. Bullfrogs from America have been sent to Japan far distribution throughout the island kingdom for propagation. It is believed they will thrive in the drainage and irrigation ditches and paddy fields throughout Japan. The frogs are ex pected to destroy many injurious insects in the paddy fields and truck gardens. A descendant of Christopher Colum bus was recently admitted to the bar in England.

Buchanan, county health officer, at his office each Saturday now. Dr. Buchanan calls at tention to the fact that now is the time to have the diphtheria antitoxin admin istered, since it requires several mouths for the medicine to produce its best ef fects, and it should be given now. so that the patients will receive the benefits by the time winter comes when diphtheria is so prevalent. ‘ TRUSTEES OF ORPHANAGE ORDER TWO DORMITORIES ’ One at Kennedy Home, Kiiu&m;One at , Thomasville.—To Be of the Unit Type. Thomasville. .Time 13.—Two new dor mitories for girls have been ordered by ! the trustees of the Thomasville Baptist , Orphanage in their annual meeting here , at their institution, one to be built at . the Kennedy Jiome, Kinston, the other • to be a unit cottage for larger girls in the home economics school at the orphan , age. Both were recommended by the . general manager. . The board also directed* that all cot tages be converted into the unit type as rapidly as possible. The sum of ( SIO,OOO was appropriated for the use , of the mothers’ aid undertaking and su , pervision of the orphanage. The home economics school, which it is desired to establish here, is regarded ( as an advanced step and certainly will t require considerable outlay. The trus tees felt and declared that they were justified in making any reasonable ad- I vancement by the fact that the denomi , nation in years past had wholeheartedly supported the cause of the orphanage in every way. _ WEATHER FORECAST. 1 Generally fair tonight and Friday; ‘ slightly warmer tonight. Albemarle Defeats Kannapolis. Albemarle Press. Tuesday afternoon Albemarle played the Cabarrus Y of Kannapolis and de feated them to the tune of 8-0, this ad ding another to her victories.

Before the game could be played Em pire Fulton had to put a force on the diamond aud clear the water off aud put shavings on it, thus delaying the game. The Kannapolis team is considered to be a very strong team, having lost only one game this season. Maitland, pitching for the locals, al lowed only three hits. AlcGinnis went on the mound for the visitors, but was taken out in the second inning, after Albemarle \fas allowed several runs, Morgan taking his place. Alorgan pitched very good ball, allowing only four runs. Illuminated Gloves For Motorists.
